Another advantage was connected with waterway this country provided. As it was the cheapest and the safest variant, merchants chose this one for their goods’ transportation. Water routes preserved merchants from bandits who often robbed the expensive goods on land roads. Very soon many towns and villages appeared along this outstanding road.
